One of my (many) mantras is that one should work hard, play hard. I try to follow that everyday. I'm also generally a career opportunist. Adventurous. Occasionally raucous. Eagle Scout. Lived in Texas three years. Aspiring world traveler. I love sentence fragments.

Besides all that, I'm trying to read and take in as much knowledge as possible, keep in touch with my friends and family back home, and attend school at UTD for pre-med. So I'm pretty busy now, but since we only have one go around the wheel, as I see it, I'm also doing my damndest to experience all the delights, marvels, sorrows, sensations, and ideas our world has to offer us. Everything I do in life is motivated by the belief that I will succeed, and I know nothing in this life is made to be feared, only to be understood.

What I’m doing with my life

Moving towards self-sustainability...aka being the Man for a decade or so until I have enough passive forms of income that I can exert my efforts on that which I'm truly passionate about.

I'm an anti-consumerism activist, personal and business consultant, gamer, epicurean, and insurance agent. I help people protect what they've worked their entire lives to obtain.

My ultimate goal is to be self-sufficient enough that I can leave my job whenever I want to travel and see more of the world. I got a taste of Wanderlust after six months in Europe in 2009 and have been dying to get away again ever since.

The internet, movie theatres, books, good humor, all different kinds of meat, mis amigos y familia, and the freedom to pursue my own path in life.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

How to better myself, which parts of the world I'm going to see next, what you and I would look like naked, film theory, how to expand my influence, the human tendency toward self-destruction, psychopharmacology, the rise and fall of nations, what can change the nature of a man, and how I'm going to live forever, or die trying.

On a typical Friday night I am

Exploring Dallas and my mind, meeting new people, and, as a general rule of thumb, making poor decisions. It's what weekends are for.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit

Yes, well, legibility and correct punctuation might not be "street", but that's how I roll, motherfucker.

My cat will climb on top of you in the night and settle like a tiny rain cloud.

You should message me if

You have a sense of humor and a longing to explore our world, if you like Big Bang Theory and HIMYM (just kidding, both those shows are terrible), if you can show me the hidden sweet spots around Dallas, if you can have fun and be good-humored in almost any situation, and if you believe an awkward morning is always better than a boring night, and if you're a velociraptor. I have a thing for clever girls.

I just got out of quite a long and complicated relationship, and so am currently just looking for fun dates and new friends.
